Notches 79 stops in rookie campaign
Woodson tallied 79 total tackles (42 solo) and three passes defensed over 17 regular-season games in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Woodson, a 2025 fourth-round pick from California, quickly became an integral part of the Patriots' secondary, starting 15 of the 17 regular-season games in which he appeared. He impressed throughout his rookie season, tying for the team lead in fumble recoveries while ranking fourth in total tackles. With Jaylinn Hawkins set to become an unrestricted free agent following the Patriots' 2025 playoff run, Woodson could start alongside a new running mate in 2026.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Starting role in rookie season?
Woodson is slated to start at safety alongside Jaylinn Hawkins after the Patriots released veteran Jabrill Peppers on Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports
ANALYSIS
Peppers' release Friday came as a bit of a surprise given his impact with the Patriots over the past three seasons, though Reiss relays that the veteran's fit in head coach Mike Vrabel's scheme was continuously evolving over the course of training camp. Woodson gradually saw more snaps with the first-team defense, and the rookie fourth-rounder is now in line to see a heavy workload in his first NFL season following Peppers' exit. Woodson logged 225 total tackles and five interceptions over his final three collegiate seasons with California.
